I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

This statement is a sick joke. US foreign policy is a sick joke, being implemented by enemies of truth, freedom & democracy - people driven by personal greed & the opportunity to exploit the suffering of others by trading US power and prestige for death & business opportunities.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism. That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

24+ hours of big wind. I get this and a massive headache lol. Good morning! 🙃

THIS 👇 TOO......

Boycott CBS.

The lighthouse is always watching.

This @peterbakernyt.bsky.social paragraph is a perfect summary of our descent into authoritarianism. He’s not even editorializing. He’s just reporting what’s happened, and what we’ve become numb to. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/u...

Especially this year 🥺💔

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support. Let's get loud as hell, folks, and make sure every member of Congress knows where we stand: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

The person who made the decision to hold this story has never been a news reporter or a news editor. Really sickening.

Police in Many “Sanctuary Cities” Have Repeatedly Collaborated With ICE Police face allegations of violating laws meant to protect immigrants from DC to Oregon to Colorado and beyond. truthout.org/articles/pol...

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

the vice president is a klansman

Neat cloud shadow in the east as the sun was sitting in the west this afternoon.

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

JD Vance: "In the United States of America you don't have to apologize for being white anymore"

The brave Epstein survivors need to understand that this is going to be a fight all the way. Trump DOES NOT WANT THE FILES RELEASED. START NAMING NAMES There is strength in numbers, but you need overwhelming numbers; encourage your sister survivors to join the fight www.bbc.com/news/article...

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care. My latest for Democracy Docket lays out the case. Sign up now to access this and all premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Basically, the Deputy Attorney General of the United States taking the 5th on national TV to avoid answering why he did one of the most disgusting things any DOJ official has ever done in US history.

WELKER: Why was Ghislaine Maxwell moved just days after you interviewed her? BLANCHE: That's a Bureau of Prisons security issue that I will not talk about WELKER: Did you have anything to do with it? BLANCHE: I am responsible for the Bureau of Prisons, so every decision they make lands on my desk

ICE is nothing short of a government sanctioned terrorist organization. Everyone of them belongs in one of their concentration camps. Noem can lead the way.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply? MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

Waterfall, John Knox's pulpit, Fife.

Yesterday played out exactly as many expected a cover-up. When 119 pages of grand jury documents are released entirely redacted, that goes far beyond protecting victims’ identities. A court ordered these records released, yet what the public received was effectively nothing.

They're so transparent they're removing photos of Donald Trump. And now I'm getting an "access denied" message when I go back to look.

Pamela Jo Bondi, doing her part to help an administration that calls itself, with a seemingly straight face, "The Most Transparent in American History."

They are suddenly no longer interested.

Oh there’s Mike Johnson. Let’s ask him about The Epstein Files.

NEW: After months of the government telling the court under penalty of perjury that the US Attorney alone made the decision to charge Kilmar Abrego with a crime, there is now EVIDENCE tying Todd Blanche to the decision. More to come on Substack... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
